Chapter 1265: Super Laco (1)
PS1: This is Thursday's update, a little late, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I promise not to stop the update......
PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
PS3: Here, I would like to thank the book friends for their tips from "Despise 1x1" and "ZZ Zhu".
"Tony, do you need to be so nervous?" Looking at Zhuang Mingge staring at the TV screen with a nervous face, Karin couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Although Deportivo La Coruna is indeed a very strong team, and its fighting will is also very tenacious, we won them four to one in the first leg!" With such a huge lead, no matter how you look at it, we can't possibly be overturned by our opponents in this game, right? β
No, Karin, you will never understand what it means to meet Deportivo La Coruna at this delicate time, especially when the two sides played such a "special" score in the first leg. Hearing Karin's question, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he didn't say these words. After all, even if he did tell Karin this, it was likely that the other party would think he was talking nonsense.
Why did Fiorentina play a 4-1 score with Deportivo La Coruna in the first leg? Zhuang Mingge screamed in his heart, as a Serie A fan and traveler, no one knows better than him the series of upsets that shocked everyone's jaws in the 03-04 Champions Cup. One of the most famous of those upsets was of course Laco's shocking comeback against AC Milan. At that time, AC Milan first beat Laco 4-1 in the first leg, and then were beaten 4-0 in the second leg by their opponents in a good situation to qualify, and were eliminated by Super Laco in disbelief by everyone.
You know, AC Milan at that time was arguably one of the strongest teams in Europe, and it was at the top level at both offensive and defensive ends. Although the current strength of this Fiorentina team is stronger than the AC Milan team in the previous life, Zhuang Mingge is not sure that under the effect of historical inertia, the purple lily will also be taken away by the sudden outbreak of Deportivo La Coruna in this game.
After all, although the world has changed a lot compared with his previous life under the effect of his little butterfly, many things still happened according to the trajectory of history. For example, the transfer of Zidane and Figo, Davies was loaned to Barcelona by Juventus, etc., these things all show Zhuang Mingge the strong inertia of the wheel of history.
Moreover, even if we do not mention such mystical things as historical inertia, the strength of A CoruΓ±a itself cannot be underestimated. One of the most detrimental things about Deportivo during this period is that you never know how much energy this team is going to burst out - they can be slaughtered by opponents of similar strength without any temper, or they can complete a shocking comeback in a desperate situation that will stun everyone.
"Now, Karin, I think what Antonio means is that he doesn't want to see the team let their guard down when they have a big lead on aggregate, leaving the opponent a chance to turn the tables." At this time, Groz Jr. also interjected into the conversation between the two, "After all, there has never been a shortage of examples in the history of football when the situation is good, and finally the good game is lost." β
"Well, Rebecca, you have a point." Karin nodded earnestly in agreement with Little Grosz's statement, "Indeed, no matter what the circumstances, we must not take it lightly, otherwise we will have to suffer on this sooner or later." β
While the trio was exchanging their views on the game, players from both sides had stepped onto the turf of the Stadio Riazor and were led by the referee for a series of pre-match ceremonies.
Although Fiorentina had just played a league game against Vicenza three days ago and had a tough game against AC Milan this weekend, Heynckes did not hold back on this game. Contrary to the predictions of public opinion and experts before the game, the German coach seems to be taking this game very seriously. This can be seen from Fiorentina's starting line-up for this game.
Although Zivo, De Rossi and other young players appeared in Fiorentina's starting lineup, everyone who follows Fiorentina's game knows that the strength of these young players is not bad, and it is more than enough to play the main team in other teams, so Heynckes's rotation adjustment does not actually have much impact on Fiorentina's combat effectiveness.
Heynckes did this because Fiorentina still hold a ten-point lead in the Serie A table after 28 rounds of league play. With such a huge points advantage, it was only natural that Heynckes wanted to take the team a little further in the Champions Cup.
By the way, Fiorentina's strong performance in the league has made AC Milan, who are second in the table and have been struggling to catch up, feel even more desperate - after all, with six league games remaining, it will be extremely difficult for any team to close the gap on such points.
Now let's turn our attention back to this game. By this time, the Fiorentina players, who had won the right to kick off first in the pre-match coin guessing session, had already taken their positions in their half, while Vieri and Inzaghi stood in the middle circle of the pitch, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the start of the game.
"The atmosphere at the Estadio Riazor is still so terrifying......" Vieri couldn't help but sigh as he felt the frenzied atmosphere exuded by the fans in the stands around him, "But Pippo, I remember that we played against Deportivo before, but it didn't seem to be as fanatical as it was today." Looking at their posture, it was as if they were going to rush down and kill us. β
That being said, Vieri was calm at this time, undisturbed by the frenzy. After all, for Vieri, who has experienced countless storms and waves, the atmosphere at the Stadio Riazolo, while terrifying, is not yet to the point where it can tarnish him.
Of course, to say that it did not interfere with Vieri at all is obviously to open his eyes and tell nonsense. If it really doesn't work at all, then these fans won't waste their energy on it.
This is also the main reason why Heynckes did not field youngsters such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery in this game. Because compared with Zivo and De Rossi, Ronaldo and Ribery have not yet exercised their mental quality, so they are more likely to be disturbed by this atmosphere and cannot play their true level, which in turn drags down the whole team.
